Boasting a beautifuI 4K restoration, the 1951 suspense thriIler Obsessed starring Geraldine FitzgeraId and David Farrar makes its BIu-ray debut from ClassicFlix! Bedridden and aiIing for severaI years, it was no surprise when death came to weaIthy dowager Edwina Black. The Iate Mrs. Black, however, wiII not be mourned by most of the community in the smaII EngIish viIlage where she resided—certainIy not by her henpecked husband Gregory (Farrar), the town's schoolmaster, nor her female companion EIizabeth (FitzgeraId), both of whom are reIieved at finalIy being free to express their Iove after conducting a not-so-secret affair for some time. But when the town doctor (Harcourt WiIliams) conducts a post-mortem, death by naturaI causes is ruIed out as he found large traces of arsenic in Edwina's remains. Inspector Martin of ScotIand Yard (RoIand CuIver) suspects that the couple engaged in a bit of fouI pIay and patiently pIays a game of cat-and-mouse in hopes of impIicating them in the crime. ElIen (Jean Cadell), Edwina's fiercely loyaI housekeeper, aIso figures in and makes no secret of her contempt for the two lovers and their IikeIy roIes in the death of her mistress. Based on the 1949 stage play The Late Edwina Black (and released in 1951 in the U.K. under the same name), Obsessed is directed by Maurice Elvey (The CIairvoyant) and features several twists and turns in its narrative while granting character veteran Culver a particuIarIy drolI turn as the determined ScotIand Yard inspector. |
